My son Nico, you just had your 2nd birthday and I was watching you the other day, all the little things and big things you do with an extra *cute* to it.

Pitter-patter is exactly right. If it isn't those cute feet pattering on the floor I see you sporting the biggest grin as you march, march, march or tippty-toe across the floor.
